Blessings from Paul Williams, Grammy award-winning songwriter and renowned film & TV actor…..“Jan Garrett and JD Martin have created yet another beautiful album that has thrown me into “gushmatic overdrive.” No Complaints Whatsoever is a spectacularly creative collection of heartsongs, inspired life lessons sung with ease and joy, reminding me again that every day is a gift…..”
From start to finish this album is a feast of musical endorphins. Performed with a twinkle and decades of soulful expertise, this entire production is full of heart and soul….Unmitigated fun, skillfully woven with solid inspiration. Here’s universally uplifting & inclusive secular progressive gospel music for all temperaments. Diversely satisfying styles include 30’s jazz, a stirring choral anthem, a heartful ballad, several Randy Newman-esque tongue-in-cheek romps, unapologetic folk, and tasty rock & roll you can dance, grin, and sing along to.
A sumptuous recording on the up-tempo end of the spectrum featuring some of Nashville’s finest artists, master musicians having fun. Here Jan & JD relax into their musical roots of folk, country, gospel, and jazz, with lyrics refreshingly inspired from a broad spiritual perspective. Feel-good music with depth and integrity.
A Jan & JD collaboration, their world peace album. These original songs are a velvet-hammer wake-up call, as satisfying to the soul as they are to the ear. The title cut, “I Dreamed of Rain” recently won the New Thought Songwriter’s Tribute Award in the healing category.
